The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project started in Indiana ( GCHRFJ ) to distinguish caches that are set in cemeteries. The idea has since spread throughout the Midwest and elsewhere. Iowa cache owners are joining in as of 2009, with the designation IaSQ prefixing their cache names. As elsewhere, this is a voluntary effort to help designate and highlight these special areas.

Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours which are typically sunrise to sunset.
